Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on?

Could it be a faded rose

from days gone by?

And did I hear you say,

He was a meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky?

She's forty one and her daddy

still calls her, 'baby'

All the folks around Brownsville

say, "she's crazy"

'Cause she walks down town

with a suitcase in her hand

Looking for a mysterious dark haired man

In her younger days they called her

Delta Dawn

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

Then a man of low degree

stood by her side

And promised her he'd take her

for his bride

what's that flower you have on?

Could it be a faded rose

from days gone by?

And did I hear you say

he was a meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky?
